For some, sure. But there are those of us who are not conservatives who share the view that conservatives have been subject to ubiquitous censorship.
I'm an anarchist, and honestly share about as much with the left as the right ideologically. The behavior of the left today sickens me, though. Even after the election of Trump - who himself is not traditionally "conservative" - has not seemed to have changed the way the left sees the right. The right is not a racist, homophobic, misogynist minority. They are a majority (albeit a slim one), and their views are both less extreme and far more commonly held than seems to be believed by the left.
Thats a nasty little remark. Keep it civil.
Once all words boil down to <ideology> or <not ideology>, a person can't express or precisely articulate ideas, which manifests in incoherent language.
What causes the downvotes is the way the ideas are presented. If you write your comment like you're a writer for the Rush Limbaugh Show, you're going to be downvoted. There is plenty of room to discuss conservative ideas without resorting to the rhetoric that Fox News and talk radio have been pumping out since 2008.
I can't tell you how many times i've seen someone make a really good point about, say, the connection between rent control and the housing shortage but in the middle they go off on a tirade about the 'welfare state' and 'handouts' which causes their entire post to get downvoted into oblivion.
I will give you that socially conservative ideas are frequently completely off limits to discussion, and I think thats unfortunate.
